Seattle and the Amazon Rainforest: Building a Carbon Market
The Amazon Investor Coalition unites investors, philanthropies and corporate buyers to shift the economics of the Amazon rainforest away from deforestation.
As a global impact finance learning-and-collaboration platform, the organization has facilitated over $50 million of new investing in the region to date. Join us to learn how leaders in Seattle area can help to ensure that the Amazon forest is worth more alive and standing, than cut and burned.
What are the future prospects for carbon markets in the region? Can they be integrated with the Washington carbon market? What is the role of philanthropy in strengthening the rule of law? What commodities can be scaled to help agroforestry outcompete cattle ranching? What opportunities do AI, pharmaceutical discovery and other technological breakthroughs bring? Join us to discuss these questions, and more.
